Xia Moshi dismissed it, but he didn't hesitate to use the chopsticks in his hand. He picked up a piece and took a bite. It tasted really good, sweet but not greasy, and it left a fragrance on the lips and teeth. No wonder so many people ordered it.

So, he took another big bite, wrapped a whole piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his mouth and chewed slowly, thinking, tsk, if only there were such delicious things in the palace, it would be great with this skill, Gong is very qualified to be an imperial chef who specializes in pastry skills.

But in this way, Xia Xuhuai is too stingy. It's so delicious, I really don't want to share half of it with him.

As if reading Xia Moshi's doubts, Xia Xuhuai poured him another cup of hot tea: "I won't let you snatch it."

Unexpectedly, Xia Moshi changed his mind again, and expressed very generously that he insisted on splitting half: "You don't really intend to thank me with such a plate of sugar cakes that are too sweet to die for? There are no female relatives and no need to spend with other families, so you can't be so poor that you can't afford to invite someone to eat."

Xia Xuhuai glanced at Xia Moshi again. He looked like he was eating happily, as if he felt that the dessert was too sweet and he didn't have the appetite to swallow so much. I haven't seen him in a few years, but this person has learned to open his eyes. Telling nonsense and incidentally treating others as if they were blind.

Seeing Xia Xuhuai's strange expression, Xia Moshi thought it was his words about not having a female family member who had poked his pain point, and said vaguely with a not-so-sincere tone, containing the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that he hadn't swallowed yet. I apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else, I didn't mean to say something about the women in your mansion, you, my condolences."

Unexpectedly, Xia Xuhuai suddenly smiled, er, if he wasn't dazzled, then Xia Xuhuai must have smiled just now, although he quickly suppressed the smile on his lips, frowned and said: "Okay. "

good?What good?Xia Moshi felt that he didn't quite understand what he meant by what he said.

"So, do you want Marquis Dingguo to help me share one or two?" Xia Moshi stuffed a pair of chopsticks into his hands.

"I remember, didn't His Highness call me brother before, why do you have the same identity as me now?"

Seeing Xia Xuhuai almost had the big words "why don't you call me brother?" written on his face, Xia Moshi really wanted to waste food and smear his face with the things on the table, brother, you big-headed ghost!

"Your Highness, don't you also say a word?" Xia Moshi turned against the general, "Also, you lied to me that your name is Xu Mu, and I haven't even settled with you yet."

"You still hate that little thing, oh, Xu Mu's name was indeed my name when I was hiding in Xishan." Xia Xuhuai exuded an air of what should be done all over his body, and he was so serious that he didn't seem to be at all. Deceitful appearance.

Xia Moshi also knew that the friendship between the two of them is still shallow, and the most taboo is to exchange shallow words. One or two sentences can be regarded as enlivening the atmosphere, but if there are too many, it will be really annoying, so he said in a low voice, and then After swallowing one piece of cake, he pushed the remaining two pieces in front of Xia Xuhuai.

"Hurry up and finish eating. I'll go to the back kitchen and order some salty and spicy dishes to relieve my greasy."

"No need, there are too many people outside, I'm afraid I'll disturb His Highness, I'll go." Xia Xuhuai got up and pushed the person back to the seat, pointing to the things on the table, "If you can eat, eat it all. I'll go back."

This kind of person outside really can't be said to be disturbing or not. He just doesn't like the feeling of rubbing shoulders with so many people, but since someone else does it for him, Xia Moshi is happy to sit back and enjoy it, and he even told Xia Xuhuai more before closing the door. One sentence: "Then trouble me to order another pot, oh, order me two pots of Qingzhu Qingye wine, one pot we drink right here, and the other household asks them to help me put it in a small jar, and I will take it back to the palace for you." Gu Yan relieved his greed, don't worry, the two jugs of wine will be charged to my account, and you will spend the money if you don't."

Standing in the corridor, Xia Xuhuai returned to his cold-faced gentleman, and said in a flat tone: "Since I said I would treat you to dinner, it is impossible to really treat you to a bowl of white rice. I am no richer than Your Highness in one matter, but I still have the money for food and drinks in Dingguo Houfu." After speaking, he slammed the door of the private room shut.

Xia Moshi, who was left behind, looked puzzled. What did he say, why did he make Xia Xuhuai so angry? Could it be because he knocked on his bamboo pole and ruined his meal?Or was it because I suspected that his marquis was poor and couldn't afford to buy wine, so I became angry from embarrassment?

Xia Moshi felt that the 16-year-old boy in front of him was quite different from the Xia Xuhuai he knew in his previous life, but after thinking about the age difference between the two, he realized that he didn't know him at all in his previous life. Because Xia Xuhuai hadn't appeared in the capital at this time, it was only later that he appeared out of nowhere like a crack in a rock, which greatly disturbed the situation in Daqi State.

However, was Xia Xuhuai so lively when he was young, why did he become so lifeless and frightening later on?Many things in today's life are different from those in the previous life. Even Xia Xuhuai had this change. Then, after five years, will they still be the same as in the previous life?

Xia Moshi braced his face, thought for a while, and came to a conclusion: That's hard to say.

When Xia Xuhuai came back, he saw that Xia Moshi was changing left and right to support his slightly fat cheeks, and his originally not fat face was stretched out into a bulging piece. He was holding a pair of chopsticks in his right hand, and he was bored The white porcelain plate was tapped up and down, rhythmically.

"I didn't tell you. If you are hungry, you can eat a pad first. Your Highness doesn't need to be polite to me."

Originally, Xia Xuhuai thought that his behavior of knocking on the plate was because he wanted to eat but was too embarrassed to eat all of it, which resulted in his notoriety of eating alone, so he made such a considerate remark, but Xia Moshi turned it over in his heart. a blank stare.

But I still remember that he is only an 11-year-old boy with a limited stomach capacity. He just disliked it because he felt that if he only had three pieces of osmanthus cake for a Chinese meal, it would not be enough for him. But now that he has other drinks and dishes, why would he To catch a crooked neck tree and hang it, no, there is no need to eat a plate of pastries.

Moreover, Xia Moshi touched his stomach: "The cakes here are too solid. If I finish eating all of them, you won't be able to eat the food you ordered. Isn't it a waste?"

Xia Xuhuai was dubious: "Do you really want to eat it?" After receiving Xia Moshi's repeated affirmative answer, he sat down and slowly ate the remaining two pieces, "I ordered scallion oil chicken, hot and sour pig's trotters, and braised taro. Balls and spicy tofu, they will be serving soon, and they also ordered the kitchen to make an extra pastry, you can take it back later and give it to your friend to try. As for the wine, I will let them put them all in a jar Yes, if you like to drink, you can take it home and drink again, I dare not ask you to drink in front of me, if you get drunk, you have to ask me to send you back, moreover, if the drink turns out to be good or bad, the emperor will..."

That's right, Xia Moshi poured himself and Xia Xuhuai a cup of Yunwu tea that was almost cold, and handed a cup to the other party: "If you don't drink this wine, you won't drink it." You can shut up.

Suddenly, for a moment, he actually missed the regent who didn't talk too much in his memory. Of course, he just missed Xia Xuhuai's not too much talk. Let's forget about being ruthless. After all, Xia Xuhuai at this time is just It was nothing more than nagging, but the regent at that time was really terrible, and he was the one who suffered in the end.

Xia Moshi didn't quite understand why he was so angry just now, but now he acted like a normal person. The meal the two ate was generally a good time for the host and guest.

After finishing the lunch, it was estimated that the time would be almost up, so the two said goodbye, one went to Dingguohou's mansion empty-handed, and the other moved towards the palace with two wine jars and an oiled paper bag, backsliding. And go, each go back.

After returning to the palace, Xia Moshi first brought a jar of wine to Gu Yan himself, and said, "Try it, is it the taste you always like to drink?" and went out again without touching the ground. .

Gu Yan pointed at his back: "Go out to drink flower wine and don't forget to bring me a jar back, and don't grab the wine from me. I appreciate you as a good friend very much."

Xia Moshi staggered on his steady footsteps, turned around and corrected helplessly: "If you don't understand our Central Plains, don't talk nonsense, drink flower wine for anything, do you know what flower wine is at a young age, it's such nonsense. Young Master Gu, oh, Uncle Gu, if you can stop pretending to understand and slander me with nonsense, I will appreciate you very much."

Gu Yan, who was full of wine and everything, didn't realize that there was something wrong with the young man in front of him who was about his age saying that he was young, so he just cupped his hands decently and said, "It's easy to say."

Back in his room, seeing Shen Yunqi just there, Xia Moshi pulled off the red cloth cover on the small black porcelain jar on the table, took out two tea bowls casually, poured out two bowls, Call Shen Yunqi to sit down.

"Yunqi, you have been with me for so many years, you have grown up very fast, and you have helped me a lot. I will remember it in my heart, and thank you very much. Although you always look like you are not showing the mountains and dews, I can see Come out, you don’t like and are not suitable to be trapped within this palace wall, compared to this seemingly bustling Kyoto, probably you are more in line with the green mountains and green waters in the rivers and lakes.”

Xia Moshi was halfway through speaking when Shen Yunqi knelt down suddenly: "Your Highness, what I did was not for your gratitude, on the contrary, I have always been grateful for His Highness's great kindness back then. A place to settle down, stay by your side, and I don’t feel unfree, please don’t abandon me.”

"Why didn't you wait for me to finish my sentence? I didn't mean to drive you away. I managed to cultivate such a promising person like you. How could you abandon it?" Xia Moshi took a sip of the bowl Drinking the sake in the cup, he explained, "Recently, I have been thinking about how to arrange you to be the most suitable for you. Now I finally thought of something that needs you to do for me. This is a big deal. I can't trust others. Only by entrusting this matter to you to complete, I can feel at ease. Are you willing?"
